Looking to spend under $70 or so, which I'm guessing is a pretty high

Various Promise controllers (TX2, TX4, 4302) fall in the high end

(PCI-X 4-port) and SiI 3132 (PCIe x1 2-port) but those are in -

or you need to MFC them yourself (I can give you a tarball of that,

obviously those are all way off the supported track). Those SiI
cards will go
for about $30, I think.
I'd vote against a TX2 or SIL3112 based solution on FreeBSD-6:
TX2: I can't get my system to boot with the TX2plus card, as BTX
crashes. (Reported here, but unfortunately no solution found.)
SIL3112: My mainboard (GA-8KNXP) has an onboard SIL3112 controller,
and it is useless. It locks up randomly.
Maybe I should try my luck with a 3ware card.
